The victim support movement has increasingly developed since the 1980s
in Asia. Especially, the last decade has witnessed the growth of a widespread
victim support movement to improve the plight and position of crime victims
in the criminal justice systems. In addition to state compensation, many
countries or regions have established or reformed support schemes for victims
of crime, including domestic violence, child abuse and stalking. Some countries
succeeded in amending the criminal procedure code and even the national
constitution.
This book aims to provide an overview of the recent trends in victimology
and victim support in each Asian country or region, namely Hong Kong, India,
Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and
Thailand. The themes are as follows:
・state compensation / restitution order / civil action
・legal status of victims / victim's rights
・victim support and protection
・restorative justice
This is the first attempt to introduce the victim support movement in these
Asian countries widely to the world. Victims and Criminal Justice: Asian Perspective will be an essential resource for researchers, criminal justice officials
and victim support volunteers.
